Highlanes place to be for Rita Duffy’s solo exhibition
THE Highlanes will be the place to be this Friday for the opening ceremony for Rita Duffy’s solo exhiition, Strength & Glory.
A contemporary art project examining the received gestures, symbols and props of Irish life and drawing on artistic legacy such as that of Andy Warhol, Duffy presents ‘multiple produce’ in an exploration of the Irish lived experience.
Historical, political and social events are reworked and presented to the viewer as irreverent thought-provoking everyday commodities - tins and jars are released from the larder to question our cultural divisions and values. All is approached and presented to reaffirm and examine the commonality of our essential human needs.
The exhibition will open from 7.30pm - 9.00pm, Friday 20th July at Highlanes Gallery, and will be on display during normal gallery times until Saturday September 1st.
